A White Elephant Christmas Week 1

Written By Jason Smith

Questions

  • Pray and invite God into this time with Him.

  • What’s the worst white elephant gift you have ever received? What about the best?

  • How do you typically deal with stress?

  • Read 1 Corinthians 7:29-31 in The Message (MSG) translation. How would you summarize what Paul is saying here?

  • Is there something you need to say “no” to, in order to say “yes” to something better?

  • Read Matthew 11:28-30 in a few different translations. How would you describe Jesus’ tone in this passage? What stands out to you?

  • What does it mean to be yoked with Jesus?

Spiritual Practice

  • What are some ways you can invite God into your stress this Christmas season and hand it over to Him? 

  • Write down a list of things that you consider restful. Make a plan to practice those things this week. Ask God to guide you along the way.
